« on: 10 September 2008, 15:40:47 »

Today as I was not busy , one friend bring a problem PC for re-install..

She said it hangs from time to time ..

I open the case for check in inside  :o :o

Cpu cooler metal sheets was blocked completely with dust..

Cleaned the blockage..And all the dirt from inside :P

Monitored the CPU temperatures from bios ..

All ok..

Also was irq problems..I'm curious who sell this PC..

inside all sorts of PCI cards tv cards, fax-modem (this PC uses DSL >:(), internal and external sound cards  >:( >:()

so cut the story short half of the PCI cards left for bin..Arranged setup

and finished installing the XP.. :)

Yup, dust acts as a blanket.

my pc was clogged too, but switched to Mac now, problem is MacMini is not that easy to take apart.

Yet another use for that compressor you bought from Aldi/Machine Mart. A good internal blasting with some air and any dusty old PC is as good as new.  :y

Indeed it does, also in a moist room i.e. in the winter when the radiators are on with wet washing around and condensation amidst..  this "blanket" becomes damp and causes high resistance shorts across components. :'(  

Worth vaccing all electricals from time to time :y

I cleaned my PC out a couple of days ago to fit a new case...

I was quite worried to find the "dust" smelt of the anti pesperant I use - infact most of it was a whitish powerder rather than good old dust...
